musings about time

What’s the bridge between knowing and not knowing and living and not living?That’s where I want to be.In the moment has it’s own rewards, but what of that portal that allows the next moment? Maybe it is better there instead?Something tells me the second moment exists, but I am not sure if it exists straight after the first. But, now I am back to that portal again between ‘now ’ and the second moment.I am having doubts now the second moment exists. Maybe it is all ’now’ moments and no ‘second’ moments? I wonder ………………………?

Too true. We are but flesh and blood, organisms that live and die. There are bigger ‘fish to fry’ out there. Concepts such as love, anger, hate, sad and happy are always more interesting I think. Time can and does take care of itself.

Mick, I’ve pondered this point from time to time and wondered about ‘chronology’.If you’re interested in looking at another perspective it’s hereBTW nicely put – it’s a bit like the Jangoliers (Stephen King’s belief is that our lives are a series of ‘movie set’ constructions and after we’ve moved on the Jangoliers come and eat the old ones up, kind of time maggots – so don’t get left behind!)

“Time present and time pastAre both perhaps present in time future,And time future contained in time past.If all time is eternally presentAll time is unredeemable.What might have been is an abstractionRemaining a perpetual possibilityOnly in a world of speculation.What might have been and what has beenPoint to one end, which is always present.”TS Eliot Burnt Norton
